Happy!

Finally, they've arrived after weeks and months of waiting.

The Collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute published by Taschen. 

Fashion: A History from the 18th Century to the 20th Century... and I got it at the anniversary price of $140. =)))))

They were heavy! But they're worth it. I'll spend some of my days just looking at the fabulous images, hoping to be inspired. =P

RPL

That stands for Recognition of Prior Learning. 

I decided to apply for it for one of the subjects I'm studying. Since I've already studied management in the past, I didn't want to study it again, not after I had that disappointing experience with Marketing. 

Yesterday, I had a meeting with the coordinator and I'm scheduled for a test on the 21st of June. If I pass, which I know I will (prepping myself up), I'd be free in August to enjoy the break and not think about class when I get back. =)

So, I've been refreshing my memory by going online and checking out management principles and practices. I also went to the library today but after scanning some books, I decided to go to Borders which was a good thing as I found a book that had a bit of what I was looking for.

Now, back to studying. 

Full Window Display

Today, our Visual Merchandising class ended.

As a last class work, we were to make a full scale window display.

This is what Roberta and I came up with.

Our contemporary window

But I liked Eileen and Ruki's display better. Ruki used her ball gown from last year and they gathered leaves and twigs from the nearby park.
